I often roast green beans<\/a> or braise them in tomato sauce Greek-style (called Fasolakia<\/em><\/a>). But when I want a simple side that’s especially low-effort, high-reward, and doesn’t require turning on my oven, sautéed green beans come in handy every time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green beans are on the heartier side as far as green vegetables go. Unlike sautéing a more delicate vegetable like asparagus<\/a>, they need a little extra love but are well worth the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They do best with a quick sear to soften their tougher exterior, then a gentle simmer to load them with Mediterranean seasonings. That means a bold amount of garlic, savory spices, buttery toasted pine nuts, and lots of lemon and fresh herbs to finish.

The green beans get perfectly tender–but far from mushy–with a perfect balance of savory, fresh, comforting, and bright flavor. This simple legume will taste delicious for up to 3 days in your fridge. Make a big batch to have a vitamin and fiber-rich vegetable at the ready!<\/p>\n\n\n
